Are there holes for your brakes in the frame? or is it a track setup.

There are holes for mounting brakes however you may need longer reach brakes for the front.

One of my bikes has the brake cable running under the top tube and I have not had a problem. I also have a soft pad in the middle of the v shaped holders on the bike rack.

I was able to ride the bike right out of the box! However, after about a month the brakes got really loose, so I would recommend using an hex wrench to tighten them so they don't loosen up. Otherwise, it's ready to ride!

They mount on a bracket where your brakes mount. The screw that keeps your brakes in place is where you would mount the fenders(front and back).

Mine was a complete train wreck assembling because the brakes were already set wrong, I needed a new brake cable right away and I. Obviously didn't have one

I dont have the bike but in the pictures there are rear caliper mounts so the frame will allow for it but I cant see if the rear wheel has disc mounts. At the most a new wheel or hub might be needed for the rear.

No. You'll have put the handlebars, brakes, etc together. I ended up taking it to sports authority and the finished it for me, although I'm not that handy.

Yes, but the cable is very long. I had to wrap it around the frame a couple of times, and that weakened the braking power. You may be better served by spending a bit more on a better brake.

yes two out of 4 wheels have brakes - press with feet to apply - be sure to install the two with breaks on one end of the unit

What model bike are you mounting these on? Are you upgrading an existing disk caliper or moving from a rim caliper to disk brakes?

Sorry, I don't have disc brakes on my bike. I was under the impression that there were different models for bikes with disc brakes, but you would have to look at the Ibera website to doublecheck.

The disk mounts to the wheel hub. So you have to have hubs that will accept them. Also the calipers mount to the bike frame. So the frame has to have mounting points in the right place. They can be added by a good welder and would be a great learning project but not trivial in my opinion.

Yes you just have to extend legs to preferred height simply by pushing small button and sliding to next hole very easy.Tip i have.....is to tie down brake cable to front frame legs with plastic ties to ensure they done catch as extend quite far at front.

Sorry, don't have disc brakes on my bike. No idea about the Surly. Any problem might be on where the u-bolt goes around the fork. On my bike the u-bolt sits 6 inches above the axle. You'll just have to check for clearance.

My frame was not drilled for a break. I had to bore a larger hole to accommodate the break bolt. You'll need extra long reach breaks to reach the rim.

I have this bike, and I saw no bolt holes to mount a disk brake on the hub, so you will probably need a new wheel/hub. It does have mounts for a caliper on the frame though. However, the V-brake is more than sufficient. It allows for slowing with a little bit of pressure on the lever as well as locking up the back wheel when you need to stop fast. Time will tell on how long the rubber lasts though.

I agree with SPC. While I don't have disc brakes on any of my bikes, I don't see why it wouldn't work. There are two "pincers" to the rear frame and there seems to be some limited top/bottom - forward/rear adjustment to the frame anchor points.
